Action Desired:  Decreasing forward head posture, pulling the scapula back, loosen up the pectoral muscles.

Start Position:  Standing with the arms at shoulder level and elbows bent at 90 degrees.  Face a corner with the hands touching the walls.

Exercise Movements:  Lean into the corner stretching the pectoral muscles and having the scapula come back and “kiss” in the back.  Try not to let the shoulder raise, keeping the upper trapezius muscle inactive.  Hold the position for about 10 seconds.
